I'm having some weird networking issue which seem to happen only on a Xen VM.  Initially I suspected OpenSwan but one of the developers suggested it might be a Xen (networking) issue.

Bellow is the correspondence with Mr. Paul Wouters:

Are you running tight on memory?

Yeah, this does not seem to be an openswan bug. The code in question is:
(one instance of it):

        /* Set the data pointer */
        skb_reserve(n,skb->data-skb->head+headroom);
        /* Set the tail pointer and length */
        if(skb_tailroom(n) < skb->len) {
                printk(KERN_WARNING "klips_error:skb_copy_expand: "
                       "tried to skb_put %ld, %d available.  This should never happen, please report.\n",
                       (unsigned long int)skb->len,
                       skb_tailroom(n));
                ipsec_kfree_skb(n);
                return NULL;
        }

I would check with the xen people to see what might be going on.

============

The server runs OpenSuSE 11.2 (x86_64), has 4GB of RAM, each of three VM's allocates 512MB. Xen version is 3.4.1, I'm using bridged networking. Each VM has it's own bridge and it servers as a router for the subnet.

I couldn't see any error messages in Xen logs...

Any ideas?

   Regards, Danilo
